Let's roll back the clock to the financial crisis. What if the bailout DID NOT give the money to the banks? What if that money was used to rebuild roads, bridges...You know the stuff we all see needed to get done. What if that money was used to incentivize American companies to create jobs (ie you add 10,000 jobs and you get this corporate tax cut). I read where the bailout could have just paid off everyone's mortgages in full and been a lot cheaper than what we did. The banks won, the slime in Congress won, and the people lost.
There are a LOT of ways for Trump to create more wealth for the working class. It starts by eliminating the banks and Wall Street as the decision makers. Create an environment where you will reward major US companies to stay. Penalize them for situations where executive pay is too high. Reward them for creation of jobs, etc.
He may not succeed, but to think it can't work is wrong. The country needed a candidate not beholden to major stake-holders that got him elected. Trump has a lot of faults, but I think he will be able to work with manufacturing to increase jobs in America.
